Product Description
"Yelena is facing execution when she is offered an extraordinary reprieve. Valek, a security chief, offers her the job of food taster for his Commander. This is no easy escape from prison, as it will be a dangerous job, fraught with the dangers of potential assassination attempts. And there's a further catch. Valek feeds her some Butterfly Dust -- ensuring Yelena can never try to escape, for if she does she will die in two days if she's not given a daily antidote. So she is forced to adjust to a new life in the fortress. But she has a powerful enemy. General Brazell -- the father of the man she killed -- wants revenge and sends his men to attack her. Yelena survives, thanks to a strange new power she develops, but she realizes that something very suspicious is going on. After being ordered to do research--on the Commander's instructions--she discovers that Brazell has put a plan into action that if he succeeds, means he will control their country, Ixia. Then a Southern Magician tells Yelena that she has magical powers. But if they grow out of control she will have to be terminated. She's given a year in which to find a cure for Butterfly Dust and go south. Yelena must work with Valek, who she's increasingly attracted to, if she wants to save both Ixia...and herself."
